"The storm today blew over the corn dryer at the co-op here in Audubon. A major gas leak caused evacuations of businesses and homes include myself and my children. MidAmerican and the Audubon Fire Department did a wonderful job of keeping everyone safe," said Hunnicutt.

A storm spotter in Audubon reported to the National Weather Service a 70 mph wind gust at 11:04 a.m.

There are no reports of injuries from the incident.

Some power lines were knocked down in the area and quite a few trees were down as well, reported the sheriff's office.
